So…I got into a writing splurge and…heck, decided to write another chapter… yay… well, the song is "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John…and I use the "s" word (gaspcomputer sarcasm), so I hope you kiddies can handle that and be all mature… and oh yeah… main events that go on during Greys also happen in this fic (like the "situation" in last week's eppy and baileys baby etc)…I just need to stress that cause their plot changes mine every once in a while because I don't want it to go too far AU…enjoy!

There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you

You know those moments where you just want to freeze time and take a snapshot? This was one of those times. I was actually having fun. I, Meredith Grey, queen of depression and sucky life, was laughing. What's that about… and who was it that said, "Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action."

"Pool."

"Yes, pool, you wanna break or leave it to the master?"

I break and get 3 balls in right off the bat.

"You've played."

"Never said I didn't." My shot, I miss.

"Well, you don't play that well."

"Hey." He carefully lines up his shot.

"Don't scratch!"

He nicks it and the ball moves about two inches.

"Hey…not cool Grey, not cool at all."

"I wasn't aware that there were rules." I really wasn't….

"Your shot." He had that glare in his eyes… crap, what have I started…he stands right in front of the pocket I am shooting for.

"If you wanna play dirty, I'm gonna win."

"Hey, I'm not gonna be the one complaining after getting neutered by a cue ball."

"But it will be worth it when you lose."

I shoot, and miss, he jumps a little bit.

"Your shot." I go and stand right next to him, the reading over your shoulder behind him type of deal.

"That's so not legal."

"Oh, so now there is a rule book for cheating?"

There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours

A couple of hours and a couple of games later, it was tied 3-3 and it didn't look like anyone would accept defeat.

"It's 11:00! Crap!"

"What?"

"Work? Ringin' any bells?" We walked out to our cars which were a few spaces apart.

"I am so better at pool than you."

"Whoa, Mer, were you watching the same game you were playing, cause talk about luck." He stepped over to me.

"Luck is a part of the game. That's what separates the winners, me, from the losers, you." I slid my hand to the handle and pulled it. I pulled it again…it was locked.

"Door is locked."

"I figured that out when I pulled it and it didn't open." I searched my purse for my keys.

"Shit…no…no no no no!" I frantically went through my purse as he started to laugh.

"Did you seriously do what I think you did?"

"If you think I danced with pink elephants in tutus, then no, but if you think that I locked my keys in the car, you are absolutely right."

"Wait…let me savour this moment……………okay, done savouring. Do you have a spare set?"

"At the house…shitshitshit. Why are you laughing?"

"Cause you're so cu- funny when you're frustrated."

"I'm freaking out, I never freak out, it's like a Meredith rule." He put his hands on my shoulders.

"Mer breathe."

"Breathe."

"Breathe. You know, I have this thing called a car, that transfers people from point A to point B, in this case, point A being here, and B being your house."

"You wanna vague that up a lil'"

"I…give…you…ride…you…get…"

"Okay, faster."

"keys and we come back and get your car."

"Ah, you have a plan."

"Yes."

"I like plans…okay…lets go get my keys."

And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

It took about 20 minutes for us to retrieve my keys…catastrophe averted… almost. Cause you see, he went to open the door to my car for me, and I did too. And this caused us to get very close in proximity.

"Sorry."

"Sorry."

And…he looked at me…with our look, and I looked back…we kissed… and it wasn't just a kiss, it was everything that had happened in the past few weeks smashed into ten seconds. And it ended. I pulled back a little to see his eyes still closed and a tear going down his cheek. I noticed I was drying too. He brushed a hair out of my face, and I leaned into his touch. We looked at each other, with some sort of understanding, then, I kind of clicked back into things, breathed in real quick, got in my car, drove home, and went upstairs to my bed. I laid down, then looked at my wall. Something caught my eye. My calendar caught my eye. The date… it was February 14th.
